Mark,
Procedure is as follows:
Cold engine
Loosen nuts according to schema in book, squirt oil, retighten to specs. =
(One nut at a time)
Run the car to operating temperature, by actually driving it.
Torque to specs
And you are done!
This should be done once a year
In oil means that you sqirt some engine oil on the threads before you =
retighten
You start with the center nuts and work your way out in a circle. I =
don't remember the lb/ft or kg/m (at least not so that I will put them =
on paper in this forum)
Best regards,
